Dogs do get STDs but they are not the same as human STDS. BRUCELLOSIS Brucellosis is a bacterial infection caused by Brucella Canis. The disease enters through the mucus mem…branes and spreads to the lymph nodes and the spleen. It also spreads to the uterus, the placenta and the prostate gland. The disease will not kill your dogs; it can however render them genetically dead due to the reduced fertility or sterility. HERPES Canine herpes virus (CHV-1) is a virus that has been largely forgotten for many years, due in part to the difficulty in making a definitive diagnosis. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that the virus causes many more problems than was first thought. Like all herpes viruses, CHV is highly infectious, and a recent study showed that more than 80% of the dogs tested had been exposed to the virus at some time in their lives. In kennels not previously exposed to the virus, CHV can cause massive losses, sometimes of entire litters. Death occurs in the first few days and weeks of life. Once the virus becomes established in kennels, periods of high mortality are interspersed with a general fall in the average birth weight of the litter, and increased pre-weaning losses. (MORE)

Is is not standard practice for an ER to test for STDs in a patient with no symptoms. The emergency room will test for STDs if someone has a symptom that may be caused by one.… Examples are painful urination, genital abscess, severe pelvic or abdominal pain, or genital lesions. It is not part of what an ER doctor would do is check for a STI infection. If a sample is taken (blood, culture) a lab would do the analysis and results given. (MORE)

They are both technically right, but the majority of people would say 'an' STD. When talking about something that begins with a vowel-sounding letter, we tend to use 'an' - it… just sounds better to say "an automobile" than "a automobile" after all. That's the reason why we have that a/an difference, the way the phrase sounds. The 'S' in STD stands for 'Sexual' and would therefore be 'a Sexual' if vocalising the unabbreviated word. But when it is abbreviated, it is pronounced 'Ess' and therefore begins with a vowel-sounding letter. It therefore sounds more natural to say 'an STD' though neither version is more grammatically correct than the other. It is a STD.(MORE)

A pap smear looks for abnormal cells on the cervix, or cervical dysplasia. Cervical dysplasia is usually caused by HPV. A pap smear makes no diagnosis, of cervical dysplasia o…r any other disease; it only points out what women need further testing in the form of colposcopy and biopsy. The current cervical cancer screening recommendations include cotesting for HPV for women 30 and over; this HPV test looks only for high-risk subtypes that are likely to cause cancer. Rarely, a woman who has a herpes outbreak on the cervix at the time of hte pap may have herpes diagnosed this way. Lastly, trichomoniasis may be diagnosed during a Pap smear. A pap smear that makes no mention of cervical dysplasia doesn't mean a woman doesn't have HPV; it only means that there's no HPV-related damage. A woman with a negative HPV test isn't necessarily free of HPV infection; there's just no evidence of HPV high risk subtypes on the cervix. Most women with herpes will have a normal Pap, and the Pap missed many cases of trichomoniasis. Pap smears do not diagnose chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, or syphilis. So, to sum up, there is no sexually transmitted disease that is ruled out on the basis of an abnormal pap test. Certain findings on Pap smears can suggest trichomoniasis, herpes, or HPV infection.(MORE)
